Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

UV index
July is the month with the highest UV index, with an average maximum UV index of 11. A UV Index reading of 11, and higher, represents an excessive health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: A daily high UV index of 11 in July leads to these guidelines:
Take all required precautions, as unprotected skin and eyes can burn in minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days. After every outdoor workout or swim, liberally apply and frequently reapply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen. Heed this! UV intensity is much stronger when reflected off sand and water.
